{ household there was introduced woman
! who could remodel, IeDgthen or devise
! the spring garments for the little ones and
| for mamma herself, with what gratitude
| would the money she earned be paid her,
| and how many signs Of relief would be
! given at the thought Of spring sewing
! dOno Here is home, good living, kind
atten JOB, all offered TO those girls VINO
! are now so sentimeutalIy termed "Pris-
| Oners of Poverty" No seamstress who
will devote time to fitting herself for this
work can fail of these comforts, for this
| is one field Of labor that is not OverCTOWd-
| ed. All hoUsekeepers will testify to the
difficulty of obtaining this kind of help,
and one qualified for simple dressmaking,
| cutting Children's clothes and neat white
sewing, finds no difficulty in earning So q
| day, always her dinner, and not intre-
| quently board and lodging, she for the
time being regarded as welcome addi-
| ton to the family. Aud yet on the
threshold of this avenue 20 well paid la
Dor, the same Old objection Is urged girls
are willing to work ia shops, but feel
their position lowered if asked to do SIM
liar work in private houses. u
these objections there is want
of reason, for no situation in the
domestic life differs from that assumed
in marriage, and if there be a difference
7 the hardness comes 70 the wife Of the
middle class, who in the struggle to keep
up Appearances has to be nurse, seam
stress and housemaid, and Oftentimes
cook aud laundress. The want is seam
stresses, not the glrl VINO sews 50 much
as one who can do the family sewing
with brains, and if girls would qualify
themselves and cast aside all foolish
prejudice, the tales of the woes of the
sewing women would be less frequent.
The song of band and gusset, and seam
was the song of the factory where men
dominate, and not the refrain Of a sewing
girl in the home of overwhelmed house
keepers, where her presence is eagerly
expected and her coming planned for.
The spring brings with it change IN al
departments of the w0man'S kingdom,
and by no means as the least, the clean
ing out of the winters dirt and rubbish.
This is such work that what with win
dOWs and paint to be washed, stoves to
be put away, and carpets to be taken
Up and shaken, the young
hOusekeeper grows fairly dizzy at
though, and even older heads have not
learned to plan the work successfully.
II there be one Injunction over all it is,
take it slowly, do not allow the demon OF
upside downnt So to rule, but take one
room ut a time, that the inmates of that
home be not ike NOsh'S we, without
rest for the sole Of their feet Let one
room be flushed and rendered cOmfOrts-
bic before another is upset, and then
there will be less discomfort during the
necessary work Of house cleaning. This
WORK is important for health and no
closet or stow-sway place should De over
looked, but all be thoroughly ventilated
and before their contents are restored
thorough sitting of the worthless, that
these places may not De numbered with
rubbish.
